Instructions For Use

Charge the Battery

Charging via the supplied USB cable should take less than four hours, but may take longer depending on the capability of the hardware. To conserve battery life, always place your Kindle into sleep mode when you are done using your device.

To charge the Kindle battery, connect the supplied USB cable to a computer.

When your Kindle is charging:

A lightning bolt appears on the battery icon at the top of the Home screen.
The indicator light on the bottom edge of the device turns amber while the battery is charging and green when it is fully charged. If you don’t see a light, your Kindle Touch is not charging.

Note: To charge your Kindle from a power outlet, you will need a compatible AC adapter (sold separately) for the USB cable. Charging should take less than four hours using a Kindle AC adapter.

Go to the Home Screen

From the Home screen, you can view items in your Kindle Library in the Cloud (Cloud tab) or view and open items that are on your Kindle (Device tab). You can also access settings to connect to Wi-Fi or receive items that have been delivered to your Kindle.

There are two ways to access the Home screen:

From any screen, press the Home button near the bottom of your Kindle Touch.
Kindle Touch goes into sleep mode if it is idle for approximately 10 minutes. To wake up Kindle Touch and view the Home screen, press the power button at the bottom of the device.
